Instructions

Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tbsp honey until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Toss in 1 sliced red bell pepper, 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 julienned carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5: Pour the honey-soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions on top before serving.
